Product Description |
Be Prepared while always associated with the Boy Scouts, this motto and way of life is now the focus of a major product release from the BSA. Headlining this launch is the Be Prepared book series from DK, beginning with Complete Wilderness Training, released April 2007. Though applicable to any outdoor enthusiast, these two new titles are a perfect match to the core Boy Scout values of outdoor activity, safety, and of course, preparation for life s journeys.
This concise and informative visual guide offers practical advice on all aspects of backpacking and hiking, from choosing the appropriate gear, to pacing yourself and accommodating for difficult terrain, to making a campsite, to overcoming unexpected difficulties, such as injuries, severe weather or getting lost. |

 A wonderful new Scouting or Pathfindering Resource Book |
| Review Date: July 13, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Robert Whitney, Deltona, Florida USA |
| This is a wonderful new resource book on camping, written by one of our best camping authors today. It should be a must for every, Scoutmaster, Boy Scout and every troop. Meeting Boy Scouts or Pathfinders on the trail is an experience. If they are good, they are very good, but if they are bad they are the very worst you want to camp near! This book should be a wonderful help for leaders who try and for Boy Scouts or Pathfinders alike. |

| Reviewer: Publisher, New York |
| This book is indeed an officially licensed book endorsed, fully reviewed, and edited by the Boy Scouts of America. It is part of a Boy Scouts of America trademarked book series called "Be Prepared". Other titles include Be Prepared First Aid and Be Prepared Fishing. Soon to be released is Be Prepared Camping. |
Mis-represented - Not a BSA publication

| Review Date: September 8, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Andynator, Logan County, OH USA |
This is a nicely laid-out beginner's booklet on hiking and backpacking, but beware: it is not an official BSA publication and is not endorsed by the BSA. The BSA logo on the back cover and the disclaimer on the title leaf are printed under license and these are the only BSA involvement with this book.
As stated, it's a nice little booklet for beginners. |
